To never wear tights again

[Mushybanna23]

All they seem to do is fall down bobble get holes in. I'm yet to find a pair I love. I struggle with the whole denier thing. I want a denier that's opaque and you can't see any skin. Then a pair that's slightly more sheer but not seethrough any tips

My ten pairs of M&S 100 dernier body sensor tights have lasted nearly 4 years. Not worth spending any more than that OP.

Another vote for Wolford opaques. They last for ages and keep their shape after many washes. Never had a problem with them falling down or wrinkling at the ankles.

Bit mystified at the vehemence over tights being 'rank'. I wear them every day in the winter. I wash them after every wear and if you buy decent quality ones they're not stinky or sweaty. I used to wear hold-ups but having put on a bit of weight I find they are uncomfortable and don't prevent chafe.

Love hold ups but being only 23 they sometimes show under my dress or skirt lengths

I hate them and never wear them...

I just never stopped wearing maternity tights, they come up so high you can tuck them under your bra #sexy.

YADDNBU

I'm also a fan of hold-ups. M&S black opaques for me.
Tights constrict me and make me hot sweaty

M&S!

YADNBU! Tights are the spawn of satan. Leggings and boots is the way to go!

Ooh this is a blast from the past.

I love the primark 40 denier shaping tights, I've got a really long torso and practically all tights are too short in the body for me but these come all the way up to my bra, keep me warm and give a smooth line under clothes. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and still wearing them to work every day unless it's warm, I just sized up and they go over my bump perfectly and actually provide quite a bit of support. Can't complain for £2.50.

+1 for Primark tights. I wear them daily, none have bobbled, and they don't fall down.

What does being 23 have to do with skirt length?

How is anyone wearing tights in this heat? I'm in the north of England and it's roasting!

I think washing tights at 30 degrees, in one of those mesh bags, helps stop them bobbling.

Ooh I love tights! Black opaque to hide my pathetic pasty pins
Wolford are amazing and really do last (they should as they cost a bleedin' fortune) but are so worth it.
Love the idea of wearing a second pair of bloomers over them too!

I love Primark tights. I had a 80 denier pair that lasted for 2 winters. I can buy nude right from anywhere and regardless of them being expensive or cheap they ladder easily.

Primark here too. Also a bit confused by the "being 23" comment.

I buy a size way too big and that seems to help on the falling down.

I will never wear tights again
Haven't for years
Don't wear skirts

23 probably means my 'short' skirt is granny length .

I only have one skirt that would show hold ups, and it's a high summer number. I guess that means I'm not 23 .

The being 23 comment is only slightly weirder than the sudden influx of tights threads...
Is thing 'your thing', op?

Hate them with a passion. I haven't worn them since 1997.

It's hard to imagine a more pointless piece of clothing than tights (or stockings) . I haven't worn them (other than for a couple of weddings) since 1988. Can't imagine ever wearing them again.

i haven't been out of trousers in 20 years.
